INTERNATIONAL LAW AND DIPLOMACY ON THE CYPRUS QUESTION

FOREWORD VI for the deep-seated sense of grievance of the Greek Cypriots? These are more than academic questions. They affect lives. They involve human dignity. To issues which have tended to generate far more heat than light, Dr Kareklas brings an ana- lytical temperament. Although the reader is left in no doubt as to the author’s point of view, his book displays a welcome fairness of mind. All arguments are treated with respect and dealt with on their merits. The work is the product of exhaustive research, as one would expect of a work based on a doctoral dissertation from the London School of Economics and Political Science. It makes a valuable contribution to its chosen topic. It givesme great pleasure to introduce this book by a young scholar of considerable seriousness of purpose, a graduate of my own Cambridge college, Magdalene, and a friend.
